Karins Kottage Linky party #325

Karins Kottage linky party #325 is in full swing today! Last week I was so excited to see some beautiful craft ideas. An easy DIY fabric coastal wall art, stunning glass garden collection that will make you want to take up that hobby. Also I am highlighting a fun back to school basket and a yummy Bahn Mi Burger recipe that I can’t wait to try!

Summer is such a fun time to get creative and try new things. New recipes, crafts and hobbies. I know these ideas will inspire you! As always thank you so much for participating in my linky parties each week and sharing your creativity!

Karins Kottage linky party highlights

If you missed last weeks party you can click here to view it. I chose these 4 bloggers and their ideas to share this week. Make sure to pop over and say hi!

This spectacular glass garden collection is so pretty! Jeanne has created 90 glass flowers! You need to check out all her creations on her blog Jeanne Selep.

Saved from Salvage has the cutest easy coastal DIY wall art. These fish are made with fish fabric, stuffing and a little cardboard and mounting them on a piece of wood that she painted!

Isn’t this such a cute idea for a fun coastal room?

Our Tiny Nest has put together a darling back to school basket for her kids. Wanting to put something together to give her kids the night before their first day to ease some of the nerves and make it fun.

I wish I had thought of this when my kids were young and nervous about starting school.

Homemade on a weeknight has an amazing recipe for pork Bahn Mi burgers! YUM! This type of hamburger has some heat due to the jalapeno peppers on it and sriracha sauce but you can limi some of the heat but don’t completely leave it off.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Since my mom passed away we are getting ready to sell their little cottage that they had just moved into in March! It just breaks my heart that she didn’t get to enjoy her darling home like we had hoped. It is such a cute little place.

Mom has always loved all things French and it showed in her house. My sister and I just finished staging it. It was pretty easy to do because she had so many cute things to work with.

This is my favorite view of the kitchen and dining room. We bought her the pot rack to hang above her kitchen island. You can find aa very similar one here.

If anyone is interested in the house let me know. It located in Daybreak Springhouse 55 and older community.

    That is so sad that your mom hardly got to enjoy her beautiful new home. You and your sister did a wonderful job staging it.

    Karin, Thanks so much for taking the time to host the link party, I so appreciate both the chance to share my blog and the chance to enjoy your blog and the blogs of others. My thoughts are with you and your sister as you stage your mom’s adorable house. My mom also got to enjoy her retirement home for much less time than we had hoped, but looking back I have so many good memories of times spent there and I know my mom loved it and really enjoyed it. I’m sure your mom loved her beautiful home as well. Sending thoughts and prayers for your family. – Patty

    Hi Karin, I know that you don’t know me, but I wanted to thank you for hosting this linky party, and tell you that I think your blog is beautiful, and your mom’s cottage is so pretty too. I don’t even feel like I have the right words to leave here for you, after having read the linked post of your mom’s passing in June, and what she was struggling with, that’s so sad and a terrible disease. I can imagine how much she is missed, by all that loved and knew her, she is a precious and dear person. God Bless you and your family and continue to give you all strength for your journey…I know you will be holding close to your heart your precious memories of her….until you see her again one day… and you will.

      Christie thank you so much for taking time to leave such sweet words for me. It is so hard not having her here! It hits me and my sister at certain times and the emotions are so strong. I know she is in a better place and is no longer suffering. We will be together again… I know it! 🥰

    Karin, I’m so sorry to hear your moms passing. I didn’t know her other than exchanging emails about the white chocolate she used for the pretzels. I’m glad you and your sister have each other!

      Nancy I am so happy to hear that you emailed her about the chocolate. It was her passion and she was making chocolate turtles in December as she started to decline. Mom was so courageous! Thank you for taking time to write me.
